While we’re on the topic of money (and approporiately so, due to the tough economic times), here’s another blog post from ZenHabits on budgeting/spending plans and saving money within budgets.

If you’re looking to pay off your debt and/or save money, you NEED to know how much money is coming in, going out and what it’s going out for. Suprisingly, the majority of young adults in Canada have no way of tracking their expenses – and this is one of the reasons why debt is a major issues for so many young Canadians.

Take out some time this week, and make a budget.

Without doubt, the most bizzare (and kinda cool) website I have come across this holiday season is The Art of Manliness blog.

Firstly, the title of the website has to rank in the top 10 of any website in the world. Apart from that, the articles are definitely interesting – be sure to check it out…especially if you’re a manly man.

In his essay, ‘Awaking from Nihilism’, Michael Novak makes some predictions as to the biggest struggles that will be fought over in the 21^st Century. Drawing from lessons learnt in the 20^th Century (the bloodiest century in human history), Novak asserts that the cultural battle surrounding moral relativism will dominate over and above any political and economical arguments. The mutual exclusivity of truth and relativism lead to a battle not only for truth, but for human liberty.

‘Liberty is not the freedom to do what you wish; it is the freedom to do what you ought….During the next hundred years, the question for those who love liberty is whether we can survive the most insidious and duplicitous attacks from within, from those who undermine the virtues of our people, doing in advance the work of the Father of lies. “There is no such thing as truth,” they teach even the little ones. “Truth is bondage. Believe what seems right to you. There are as many truths as there are individuals. Follow your feelings. Do as you please. Get in touch with yourself. Do what feels comfortable.” Those who speak in this way prepare the jails of the 21^st century. They do the work of tyrants.’

You can read the rest of the essay here. It’s well worth your time.
